Tell us, what does a Pricing Co-ordinator do every day?
Currently, I am a pricing coordinator in the profiles division. My responsibilities include accurately predicting feasibility, costs, and timing of projects while partnering with other members of the company to support account strategy, financial goals, and support existing account relationships.
People may be surprised at how different each day is. We may be doing the same “task” of checking feasibility and pricing studies, but each study is very unique and requires a unique approach.
What impact does your role have?
On a day-to day basis, my role helps shape the products we see on store shelves. Through surveys, we help companies get a sense for what consumers are looking for and are able to have groups try the products before they go on sale to the public through in home usage tests.
Even though you work remotely, do you feel part of the team?
There are many opportunities to get involved. One of my favourite online events are the mindfulness meditation sessions. We also have team meetings that are set aside for hanging out and chatting which has helped me get to know other members of the team better.
Have we helped with your career development so far?
I feel very supported in my career development here at Kantar. During one-on-ones with my manager, it has been made clear that I will be supported on whichever career journey I choose. Here at Kantar, it is not a definite career path, meaning you do not have to stay on the same team to advance through the company. If I ever feel like I want to dive deeper into another realm of the business, I know my manager will be there to support me and help me take the necessary steps to achieve my goals.
